    I’m a very simple being and my grocery tastes reflect that.

    But I will grouse about changing the layout in the store for the rest of the night if you don’t intervene.

    I wouldn’t lead with that but there’s a lot of “foodies” out there. If you don’t talk sports or the weather, food isn’t a bad topic at a party. Everybody gotta eat

      A fellow Trader Joe’s lover definitely transcends the lame smalltalk boundary. I don’t even go but the way my dad recommends food when he meets someone else who goes to Trader Joe’s you would think they had known each other their whole life.

      I got a basil plant from Walmart a few months ago because it was literally the same price as the dried stuff.

      I’ve been putting basil in basically everything haha

    I personally don’t care much for sponsored foods but I acquired some post Malone oreos that are pretty good. They’re super sweet though so 1 pack lasts like a month.

    Oh, man. A few months ago I, a quadragenarian dude, spent like 20 minutes telling a friend about my skin care routine. … when I have the gumption to do it.

    Not a recent purchase, but Costco had these halloumi fries recently and they were bomb. I’m sad to see that I can’t buy them right now.

    Typically if someone asks me a very off key question like this, I assume it’s because they want to be asked that question in order to start a conversation they have in mind. So I would usually give some answer: “I’m really enjoying baking bread right now, so I suppose flour.”

    Then ask “what about you?” Which is usually when the really interesting and often much more off key conversation starts. If not, I can start talking about baking bread, so it’s win/win for me!
